    Back to the topic at hand, here is a perfect example of the liberal bias in the media. The media that needs fairness


    AP Celebrates: Democrats 'Cleared Away The Financial Mess' of GOP
    Posted by Tim Graham on February 1, 2007 - 05:51.
    Jonah Goldberg at The Corner noticed the Associated Press covered the budget process with more attitude than objectivity with this introduction from reporter Andrew Taylor:

    "The House passed a $463.5 billion spending bill Wednesday that covers about one-sixth of the federal budget as Democrats cleared away the financial mess they inherited from Republicans."

    Cleared away the financial mess, all in one spending bill? That's not just editorializing, it's bald-faced partisan rhetoric, not fact. Just paragraphs later, Taylor suggests the Democrats are still a lot like Republicans:

    "Despite GOP complaints about how the bill came together, it generally is a Republican-leaning measure that keeps to the same overall cap that Bush and congressional Republicans insisted on last year — before Democrats won control of Capitol Hill in the November elections."

    "Spending levels for most agencies and programs are the same as in last year's budget."

    With all due respect, isn't complaining about media bias a bit like complaining that ice is cold or rocks are hard ?

    The point is it is the left who wants to silence the outlets that disagree with them

    For many years, the liberal media could shape, present, and slant the news anyway they wanted

    Then talk radio and the internet came along and folks got the other side. People have choosen to listen to talk radion and watch Fox News

    That is what the left wants to stop

    Is that why Fox News (the right wing network) has more libs on then even CNN and MSNBC?

    The RIGHT did not have, as the first item on their Senate agenda, a bill to cut free speech.

    Sure they have them on--and when they get on they do what they can to make them look wrong.

    Actually, we on the right enjoy watching the libs making total fools of themselves every time they open their mouths.

    They do not need any help in that area

    Of cousre libs sneer how they are not "real" liberals.

    Fox News has alot of libs on. However, you see few Conservatives on CNN or MSNBC. When you do they are outnumbered by at least a three to one ratio

    To libs, that is fair and balanced

    The media in America is privately owned and it's sole purpose is to make money. Any conservative is just as free as any liberal to purchase a media outlet and project the message they think will make em the most money. If they already have enough money they can use it to twist the minds of anyone who will listen.

    The Unfairness Doctrine is intended to restore the libs to what they believe
    is their birthright. To say what they want, when they want, with no rebuttle from anyone who has the gall to disagree with them

    With the rise of talk radio and Fox News, libs do not like it when they people choose to listen/watch them.

    They might actually get the facts

    Because I'm ancient I remember being taught in elementary school that all the media in Russia was contolled by the state to control the minds of it's citizens. Now I see rich Americans trying to do the same thing in here. Both whine about the spin coming from the "other" side. Isn't whining symptomatic of someone who is losing and frustrated ?
